Job 36:1-10 ▼

1 Elihu also proceeded, and saide:

2 Holde thee still a litle, & I shall shew thee what I haue yet to speake on gods behalfe.

3 I wyll open vnto thee yet farre higher knowledge, and wil ascribe righteousnesse vnto my maker.

4 And truely my wordes shall not be vaine, seeing he is with thee that is perfect in knowledge.

5 Beholde, the great God casteth away no man, for he him selfe is mightie in power and wysdome.

6 As for the vngodly he shall not preserue him, but shall helpe the poore to their right.

7 He shal not turne his eyes away from the righteous, but as kinges shal they be in their throne, he shal stablish them for euer, and they shalbe exalted.

8 But if they be layde in chaynes, or bounde with the bondes of trouble,

9 Then wyll he shew them their worke, & their sinnes which haue ouercome them.

10 He with punishing and nurturing of them, roundeth them in the eares, warneth them to leaue of from their wickednesse, and to amende.
